01Narrative

Mesodina halyzia, the eastern iris-skipper or halyzia skipper, is a butterfly of the family Hesperiidae. It is endemic to the Australian states of New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. The wingspan is about 30 mm. The larvae feed on Patersonia fragilis, Patersonia glabrata, Patersonia occidentalis and Patersonia sericea. They construct a shelter made by joining the leaves of its host plant with silk, where it rests during the day.

05DNA & barcoding2 specimens

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Mesodina halyzia has left across the world's sequence archives.
